Fifteen

~Declan~

I followed the unhappy but seemingly happy couple out of their quiet little neighborhood and up into the mountains, leaving the densely packed civilization that comes with city life behind.

I had been puzzling on what Brenda was up to all four-plus hours of the trip as I observed their activities, starting with the joyful smiles they exchanged, hand holding, and quaint little lunch in the park. It only escalated from there.

Is Brenda, after all of her adamancy to the contrary, considering reconciliation?

If so, it will never work. For a number of reasons. One being that she ever wanted him dead in the first place and even went so far as to hire me, a freakin’ hitman, to get rid of him, and two being that I made it clear as crystal that once a contract is made, it is unbreakable.

So what if I told her that the deal was off? I’m allowed to change my mind. At no point in time did I ever say that it would be off if I did, in fact, change my mind. It is my prerogative who I kill and who I don’t.

Brenda is going to get one hell of a rude awakening if she thinks for one minute that me telling her it was off meant it was forever and always never going to happen.

A fact that is becoming more and more urgent the longer I follow the couple, watching that fat oaf put his hands on her as if he owns her.

A piece of paper doesn’t make that so, and I want nothing more than to beat that lesson into him. I want to make it clear that Brenda is not a piece of property, and Glenn has lost any right he had to it long ago. But more specifically, when his wife sentenced him to die—a little known fact that I fully planned to reveal, eye to eye, before the lights go out for good.

So all of this brought me here, to a cabin on a hill in the middle of the woods, with the nearest neighbors dotted along the land, miles apart.

As for me, I’m sitting in my SUV, nestled inconspicuously between a patch of pine trees and vegetation that’s doing an okay job of keeping my presence here hidden, twiddling my thumbs and cobbling together ideas.

So far, nada.

I am at a loss for how to approach this situation and when. I’m used to having ample time to plan. Case the area, map out the land and the people. Come up with something airtight and foolproof. And now…I’m going to have to think on my feet.

Maybe I should have contacted Brenda, broken a cardinal rule just once, to save myself the headache. I just hadn’t considered that she would run off to either reconcile or carry out the job herself—the jury is still out on exactly what the hell it is that she’s doing way up here, so far from home.

I hadn’t taken her for the cabin-in-the-woods type.

Then again, she didn’t appear the type to hire a hitman to kill her husband either.
